<p>Who is she hanging out with that believes this? &quot;When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilization and Jesus will come back.&quot;</p>
<p>Moris Kight was right! </p>
<p>&quot;I do not feel challenged by organized religion. In some cases it is helpful, and often is harmful.&quot;</p>

Too bad you are so messed up in the head with your kookie brand of &quot;religion&quot;, you can&#39;t even see how hateful you are. Jesus is NOT in your heart, sweetie. He avoids hate. Get back to me after you study what being a real Christian is all about...until then, don&#39;t you dare call yourself Christian. You are as far removed from Christianity as an Atheist. I have more respect for an Atheist than I do you. They don&#39;t try to cloak their hate in Christianity. You sicken me. I hope you become financially ruined after this stupid stunt. I sure hope it was worth it, and I sure hope you have a different skill set to fall back on, because your music days are over.</p>tad commented on '10 of 11 Tour Venues Cancel on Michelle Shocked After Her Career-Ending Anti-Gay Rant'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017ee99b0a08970d2013-03-21T03:39:17Z2013-03-21T03:39:17ZtadWow, listening to that was just incredibly sad.

You are ignorant about what free speech is: free speech has to do with the GOVERNMENT not infringing or penalizing you for your right to say anything you want. It has NOTHING to do with a private business or individuals who are offended by your hate speech. </p>
<p>You see, this woman can say anything she wants and if it hurts the establishment&#39;s profits or ethics, her mic can be turned off and asked to leave. Likewise, the offended recipients of her homophobic rant have a right to exercise their right to speak up against her diatribe.</p>
<p>Again, free speech has to do with the GOVERNMENT prohibiting or penalizing you for your speech and that is illegal. People expressing their opinions about those who hate them and want to obliterate them from the face of the earth, not so much. </p>Jimmy Palmieri commented on '10 of 11 Tour Venues Cancel on Michelle Shocked After Her Career-Ending Anti-Gay Rant'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017c37f704ee970b2013-03-21T00:27:29Z2013-03-21T00:27:29ZJimmy PalmieriSHE NOW FEELS THE HURT , REJECTION AND ISOLATION, THAT PEOPLE LIKE HER CAUSE US DAILY.<p>SHE NOW FEELS THE HURT , REJECTION AND ISOLATION, THAT PEOPLE LIKE HER CAUSE US DAILY.</p>John Freeman commented on '10 of 11 Tour Venues Cancel on Michelle Shocked After Her Career-Ending Anti-Gay Rant'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017ee9998a15970d2013-03-20T22:41:25Z2013-03-20T22:41:25ZJohn FreemanGood.

Words Matter.<br />
Hate Speech IS NOT Free Speech. It&#39;s speech directed at inciting violence against others and usually those least able to defend themselves from such dehumanizing language or violence. Visit a holocaust museum sometime snt or any other posters spouting the free speech tripe.<br />
We witness it everyday on this very site.<br />
A soccer player in Greece does a Nazi Salute and they are banned for life from the game. That Polish Nobel Prize winner espouses hateful rhetoric that impacts peoples lives NOW and his accomplishments become worthless in the eyes of fair minded humans. Actions and Hateful words have consequences and the REALLY STUPID and BIGOTED supposedly &quot;straight&quot; people and the seriously closeted gay people and the severly depressed and psychotic religious people living on the earth in 2013 might want to REALIZE(and most difficult of all...LIVE IN REALITY)that gays folks ARE TAKING OUR RIGHTFUL AND DIGNIFIED PLACE in this world and will not go away...EVER. <br />

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding of marriage law (gay or not) doesn&#39;t mean that any clergy is forced to marry everyone who wants to be married by them, unless they are serving in some public capacity, such as in some county&#39;s marriage bureau or the military. Clergymen can and do turn down requests by couples to get married in their house of worship. Many rabbis will not perform weddings unless both partners are Jewish. A co-worker of mine who grew up Catholic but whose first marriage ended in divorce could not get married in his family&#39;s church. I&#39;ve heard of at least one minister who refused to marry a couple he considered too young for marriage. Etc.<br />
<br />
Of course, instead of simply being a paranoid or an idiot, Shocked might be just another arrogant conservative who deals in truthiness, not facts or logic, even if on some level he or she knows (s)he&#39;s making things up.</p>MArk commented on '10 of 11 Tour Venues Cancel on Michelle Shocked After Her Career-Ending Anti-Gay Rant'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017ee998ff2e970d2013-03-20T21:05:26Z2013-03-20T21:05:26ZMArkDon't be so proud of a person being jobless, is tacky and wrong, I dont fckng care how u want...<p>Don&#39;t be so proud of a person being jobless, is tacky and wrong, I dont fckng care how u want to justify it, it&#39;s wrong</p>Jeff commented on '10 of 11 Tour Venues Cancel on Michelle Shocked After Her Career-Ending Anti-Gay Rant'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017ee998fec3970d2013-03-20T21:05:13Z2013-03-20T21:05:13ZJeffShe can still get up sing and play her songs live..... in the living rooms of her few friends.<p>She can still get up sing and play her songs live.....<br />
